That is too fast since it only came out last month...
Overstock is overstock...

I wouldn't read too much into it, as the sales were still excellent. If they can get a few more people to give the first volume a chance, they may end up sticking around and collecting the rest of the series, which is why a lot of shows use that pricing strategy to start with. Not to mention, it's quite possible that certain stores over-bought knowing that the first series eventually sold out at retail (resulting in the need to issue that boxset). Anticipating demand for a volume 1 is tricky.

Most of the shows with low prices for Vol 1 also only have 1 episode on the disc anyway... it's not really a discount imo... you're paying 4k for 1 episode or 7k for 2... true discounts would be like AKB or to go to an older example, NANA.

It's excellent, particularly when it's no doubt impacted to some degree by the Amazon dispute (though who knows how much). I suppose some people might have thought that the series could maintain its original series numbers, but that was always near-impossible. A bit of the luster will always wear off after a few years, particular given that the sequel changes its approach a bit from the original series. It's still almost certainly going to be the top-selling anime TV series of the year.

A part of me will always see this series as the 80k average monster that it once was.
